The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

After the first World War, there was so many things that were destroyed after this war. Many nations were part of this war, but only one country was blamed for all the disasters and it was Germany. According to the Treaty Of Versailles, Germany had to take all blame. Not only but they were responsible of the war, buy because they were, they had to pay all the damages that was done during the war.

Germany had lost 10% of their land after the war, and their population went down. Many people found themselves outside of the German borders, this was bad news for Germany. Also many overseas colonies that belonged to Germany were shared between the Allies nations, Germany was left with none of the overseas colonies. Germany was forced to do all these things because of treaty. This was an embarrassment to the Germans. Germany had to live by people's rules because they were taken out of the League of Nations. They no longer can show off nationalism when their country had been attacked and embarrassed.
I believe this led to Fascism and Adolph Hitler because Germany felt bitter.

Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

When Mustafa Kemal took power over Turkey, he made many changes about the way the Turks would live their lives and how would they look like. He wanted the muslims to look like the europeans, he didn't want to dress like the traditional way a muslim would do. The traditional way a muslim would dress would be like dresses that looked like bedsheets wrapped around them with a funny looking hat that no had edges, that hat was called a fez.

Ataturk wanted the modern muslims to look like the europeans or americans, with shoes or boots on their feet, or pants accompanied by a shirt or tie with a jacket. He wanted to dress them like that so that the modern muslims would look like the people from european countries. Ataturk also made schools be secular, which made schools non-religious, only a small specific schools would focus a lot in religion.

He made many important changes in order to modernize the muslims on what they wore, how they speaked yet still kept the traditional muslim believes.

Film Lesson- "Gandhi"

Gandhi became a very important person regarding to the Indian Independence from Great Britain. He did many great effords to get India's independence like making peace-full protests about the unfair remarks the british were doing. An example of one is when they did the Salt March, when he lead this walk to the sea to evaporate water to make salt of their own so they wouldn't have to buy it from the british.

He followed civil disobedience, never once used violence to prove a point. He believed that if they didnt use violence and the british did, it would make the the britsh look like the bad guys. Gandhi also made the indian people make their own clothes so they wouldn't have to buy it from the british also. Gandhi didn't want to depend on the britsh, he thought that Indians should be independent.

Even though Gandhi didnt get his way of independence, Indians got their independence. But i think the indians were bound to get their independence anyway. I believe that Gandhi made it faster to achive the goal.
